Agree smaller equipment will hurt Rask and other Goalies with similar builds ..

I for see any injuries due to limited size of equipment, GAA% going up. BUT I believe when they developed the gear they took safety into sideration???

BUT I believe when they developed the gear they took safety into sideration??? i was reading online a goalie for the devils was testing the EQ in shootout drills and he had to leave early b/c he dinged his shoulder. ive read goalies are concerned about their collarbone areas and neck and arms. all areas that were trimmed down. i do think they are prolly getting excited for nothing because goalies back in the 80's and earlier survived with small equipment. maybe they should learn to play more stand up style.

I meant to say "I do not for see". Was not paying attention to what actually typed :-( I hope they aren't gonna get injured for this reason, they have enough to worry about!

I like Wheeler too but that's going to be a bad contract probably as soon as it kicks in next year. Coming off a career year and he turns 33 before that deal even kicks in. He's a big boy and big players seem to slow down earlier than smaller players. (See David Backes) I actually had no idea Wheeler was that old.

Glenn Hall would think today’s Goalies are soft considering what equipment they had back then , he played 500+ games in a row ..

While I agree with Glenn Hall to a point he didn't have an entire team shooting upwards of 80+ mph shots on him. He had maybe one or two players per team that could shoot. The composite sticks, the bigger, stronger, faster players made it dangerous for goalies.

I think this is a separate issue but I couldn't agree more. The internet is killing kids, the fun of just getting outside and playing a sport or hiking etc is just not a thing anymore. When the kids today turn 50+ years old (if they make it that far) they'll be medical nightmares.

Teach your kids HOW to be an active person i.e. NOT sit in front of the TV/Computer/smart phone/tablet! Get outside & PLAY! I never see kids on my street outside & I live at the end of a culdesac!!!

Teach your kids HOW to be an active person i.e. NOT sit in front of the TV/Computer/smart phone/tablet! Get outside & PLAY! I never see kids on my street outside & I live at the end of a culdesac!!! I talk a good story and as a kid I was always active and playing everything I could be a part of but as a parent I feel like I've dropped the ball. I have two girls, they've both been in soccer and or dance at different points but that's about it. My kids don't go outside and play, they have phones in front of their faces now as teenagers and if I don't have them in an organized sport they couldn't be bothered to organize their friends to just go do something active. This is not an excuse but parenting today's kids is a totally different animal, we'd create our own activities as kids and there was always a ton of kids around (it seemed, maybe baby boom) nowadays kids text their friends, most of them can't get out of their own way but they eventually hang out and stare at screens together looking like zombies.

When the kids today turn 50+ years old (if they make it that far) they'll be medical nightmares. Many day I'm confined to the 4 walls that surround me because of my messed up back. Man, I go freaking nuts not being able to get outside and bum around at something. I always have lots to do around the house to keep me busy and often I overdo it just cause of my love for the great outdoors, like you guys. Yea I have inside hobbies like Pokerstars, Variety puzzlebooks, taped westerns etc, BUT it's not the same. Just something to occupy my time til I'm well enough to get back out there. My 2 Grandaughters do spend lots of time outside BUT they spend too much time on their Ipads. I was fucking pissed when my 2 year old Grandson was given an Ipad by his aunt. I'm so happy he has it busted up and it dont work anymore. He dont miss it cause so far he loves everything outside and I pray it stays that way. I often speak in school about the abuse of alcohol and drugs although I never done any drugs, only alcohol. Today when I speak on the subject of the addictive mind, I also bring up Ipads and smart phones noting those are the things kids are first addicted too.. The addictive mind dont begin at around 12 like it used too. Today it's more like 5 and the majority of parents dont realize the extent of damage these things are doing..
